Violet Rosina MANNING
Set As Default Person -
Name Violet Rosina MANNING Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 15 Mar 1918 Plymouth Reg Dist, Devon, England
- Date from death registration index and 1939 register
GRO ref: Manning, Violet R q2 1918 mother's maiden name: Lobb, Plymouth RD 5b 320; GRO online index shows middle name as Rosina
For some reason Violet was recorded as a Lobb when she married, her mother's maiden name rather than hers, though Manning was given as her maiden name when the births of her children were registered. (Often this use of two surnames occurs when someone was born before their mother's marriage, but that was not the case here - though Violet was born during WW1, and obviously some children born at that time had the 'wrong' biological father)
Gender Female Residence 1939 Harwell Street, Plymouth, Devon, England
- A Violet E Lobb, born 1902, living in Plymouth in 1939, had the surname 'Gotham' written by her, but this was then crossed out and the name 'Violet E' written more clearly (the original middle initial was not clear, and it is easy to see how it could have been mis-read as 'R'). It looks like when this Violet married the wrong entry was originally changed!
Violet Manning / Lobb / Gotham was living with her mother and brother; the closed entry between her and her brother, is probably their sister.
